Services with Metal 3D Printers

The combination of our metal 3D printing sevices and our precision machining technologies as a secondary process brings a great result to you. Our products are ready-to-use at arrival. You can install it in your devices right away.

We perform a secondary process including polishing of the surface or the interior surface of the products, after metal 3D printing.The secondary process is already taken into consideration in the designing stage, which gurantees our commitment to your needs.

Metal 3D Printers - Our Services

①One-stop services including the secondary process such as surface finishing.

We offer one-stop services through the entire process including the secondary processing, from initial printing to super-fine finishing. You don't need to work with different suppliers for each step anymore.

One-stop services

②High precision finishing with our precision machining technologies.

An example of a socondary process - Closed impeller

  • After removal of supports
    After removal of supports
    (Surface roughness : Ra20μm)
  • After finishing
    After finishing
    (with internal surface polishing)
    (Surface roughness : Ra0.5μm)

We perform high precision polishing on the surface or to the interior surface to improve the surface roughness level which is the weakness of metal 3D printing.

Other Services

  • 1) We offer one-stop services through the process from initial printing to finishing. The parts and the products are ready-to-use at arrival.
  • 2)We conduct verifications beforehand to reduce the risks of failure, using Simufact Additive, a software solution of MSC for the simulation of the processes.
  • 3)The thermal strain is a typical challenge in metal 3D printing. We correct the model shape to minimize thermal strains by conducting simulations.
  • 4) The surface of the products are not smooth. We select not only blast finishing but the best polishing method for each product, to achieve better surface quality.
  • 5)Trial pieces are available from 1 piece. Mass production is supported as well.
  • 6) If you have concerns about our manufacturing quality, we are happy to discuss with you about our quality control method to better handle the situation. We can discuss about the quality of materials (composition, fluidity), the quality of the parts and the products (composition, strength), or to freeze the manufacturing process etc.
    (We obtained a quality management system JISQ9100 for the aerospace/diffence industries, in Jun 2019.)
  • 7)We can handle the difficult-to-cut materials including tungsten, not with traditional cutting techniques but with the additive manufacturing method.
  • 8)We actively provide suggestions to our customers for optimizing the shapes for metal 3D printing.

Metal 3D Printers - Overview

The metal 3D printers we adopted are "Powder Bed Fusion (SLM) method".
How it works:

  1. Metal powder is spread over thinly .
  2. The targeted area is exposed to a laser beam. The laser beam melts and fuses material powder together.
  3. Step 1 and 2 repeat until the entire model is created.
  4. The finished product is taken out.
  5. The base-plate is detached from the finished product.
  6. The supports are removed.
